Indexer Notes

Possible Orlando inks per Nick Caputo. The Table of Contents for this collection incorrectly credits Ditko as the sole artist, however in the text page of the original issue it states that "Steve has put aside his inking pen and brush." Carl Gafford had suggested Al Milgrom as the inker, but Milgrom states that he did not ink this cover. The Comic Reader credits Mike Royer as cover inker but Royer doubts that it was him.
